Consider the equilibrium between COBr2, CO and Br2.
The reaction is allowed to reach equilibrium in a
14.6-L flask. At equilibrium,
[COBr2] =
4.50×10-2 M, [CO] =
0.306 M and [Br2] =
0.306 M.
(a) The equilibrium mixture is transferred to a
7.30-L flask. In which direction will the reaction
proceed to reach equilibrium? right or left
(b) Calculate the new equilibrium concentrations that result when the equilibrium mixture is transferred to a 7.30-L flask.
[COBr2] | = | M |
[CO] | = | M |
[Br2] | = | M |
